Leo Michitsch February 17, 2020 Share February 17, 2020 In the tutorial Lesson 12 shot 4 Core Rotoscoping and paint touchup - 1.) Under the Brush Controls can we rotate and/or reshape the square tool and add softness? 2.) In the later part of the tutorial, where you go from camera right eye to camera left eye, can you fill in the steps when you go off screen the 2nd time when you do the stroke control clean up?

Lee Lanier February 24, 2020 Share February 24, 2020 (edited) Sorry for the late reply... The Rectangle tool does not provide a means to rotate the shape, or add a soft edge. If those things are required, it might be better to use a different masking process (such as a Polygon tool). The left eye requires the same steps as the right eye. I really just repeated the process. Edited February 24, 2020 by Lee Lanier Link to comment Share on other sites
Leo Michitsch February 25, 2020 Author Share February 25, 2020 Hi Lee, Thanks for your response. I am confused about your suggestion of using the Polygon tool. Can I use the polygon tool you suggest with cloning in paint? What are the exact steps to clone an image in paint using the polygon tool ? Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites
Lee Lanier February 25, 2020 Share February 25, 2020 No, sorry, the Polygon tool would be an alternative masking choice. For paint cloning, you have to stick with the options that come with the Paint tool. Link to comment Share on other sites
Leo Michitsch February 28, 2020 Author Share February 28, 2020 I am working in Davinci 16. 1.2 I am following one of your Davinci 15 tutorials (lesson 29 and 30), in fusion I have noticed some problems and differences between Davinci 15 and 16. We can not isolate the strokes like you have in 15. Are we doing something wrong? Also, how do you finish paint cloning part way through a clip instead of going through to the end of the clip?

There are, however, differences between the Stroke brush or Multistroke brush. The Stroke brush paths can be manipulated individually, but last the entire timeline. The Multistroke brush paths only last one frame but cannot be manipulated individually. Link to comment Share on other sites
Leo Michitsch March 9, 2020 Author Share March 9, 2020 Hi Lee, Thanks for your other responses. What is the correct procedure for stopping and starting a paint clone within a single timeline? We have a 361 frame clip and need to do it in separate passes. Also, please see the attached image. What is the bottom circle called and what is its function and how can it benefit our work?

Leo Michitsch March 9, 2020 Author Share March 9, 2020 Hi again Lee, Another question for today- in using offset X and Y in apply controls we needed to look for a better source for the clone. Link to comment Share on other sites
Leo Michitsch March 9, 2020 Author Share March 9, 2020 Hi again Lee, Another question for today- in using offset X and Y in apply controls we needed to look for a better source for the clone. I applied key frames to the X and Y location, each time we moved stroke control to a new key frame and location, while still adding a key frame to stroke controls. Should we also add key frames to the X and Y in applied controls, or is this mistake? We noticed you did not do this in your Lesson 12 titled Beauty. Thank you so much again, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites
